Self-service checkouts, lights-out manufacturing, self-driving cars, and wars raged by robotic drones – automation is coming for everyone’s jobs eventually, and our capitalist systems aren’t equipped to carry us through it.
As I type this, teams are working on machine-learning AI that can write simple news articles with perfect grammar and without rambling introductions. They can’t be self-deprecating like me – and they certainly can’t interview people – but they sure can put words in order.
No one is safe from the death march of technological advancement. Not even actors.
Altered AI is a company that promises to give game developers the tools to “create compelling, professional voice performances.” It has a library of around 20 professional actors and hundreds of what they call more “common” voices that devs can use to populate their games.
Just submit a recording of what you want to say and how you want it said, and a “performance” comes out on the other side. Or you can input your actors’ performances and change their tone, voice type, and more. There’s even an example on the website where a male actor’s line read is changed to sound feminine, which definitely won’t be abused in horrible ways. No, sir.
